Five birds with one stone
By: Charles Jalkh/Freedom FighterOctober 4/07

It is not shooting the birds, rather saving them. The five birds to save are
Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Jordan, and Turkey. The stone is Syria, this filthy
black hearted dictatorship who has been spilling rivers of blood in the Middle
East for the last 30 years. The Syrian Assad regime, sometimes authorized by the
US, other times “admired” by the likes of Israel’s PM Olmert, has sabotaged all
efforts for peace in the Middle East, and is now a staunch ally of Iran, the
Beast of the axis of evil.
Syria’s Assad clan has occupied and murdered in Lebanon for 30 years and still
does.

It sent chemical terrorists to Jordan. It harbors Hamas terrorist leaders and
engineered the coup d’état against the Palestinian authority. It supported
Kurdish separatists terrorizing Turkey. It has also been the conduit and
training ground for Al-Kaeda terrorists killing Iraqis ad Americans in Iraq. Why
the world still tolerates this filthy regime is beyond any reason. It is
outright cowardness to say the least.

Humanity needs a regime change in Syria. This should have occurred before
Iraq’s. It was more urgent and could have had a larger positive multiplier
effect. Unfortunately, the US foreign policy decision makers thought Syria was
too far from the oil fields of Arabia as a threat and covertly sufficiently
cooperative, therefore less urgent of a threat. Years of such dark chambers
diplomacy have resulted in thousands of American casualties. The Syrian
dictatorship should have been overthrown prior to Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, who was
relatively harmless despite his proximity to the world main energy zones.

The Syrian Assad Dictatorship has been murdering the Lebanese freely for two
years now since the rise of the Cedars revolution which kicked its occupation
troops out of the country. Just yesterday, 150 forest fires simultaneously
erupted in Lebanon at night, and in a season never known to witness fires, and
with cool temperatures. Who’s done it? It is Syria of course.

The low life criminals Assef Shawkat and Bashar Assad have already shown
their true faces to the world. They have murdered the Lebanese for 30 years,
murdered Mufti Hassan Khaled, Riad Taha, Salim Lawzi, Kamal Jumblat, Bashir
Gemayel, Rene Mouawad, Rafiq Hariri, Bassel Fleihan, Samir Kassir, Gebran Tueni,
George Hawi, Pierre Gemayel, Walid Eido, Antoine Ghanem, and maimed Marwan
Hamade and May Chediac. It is a shame that the world community is still waiting
on that regime for a behavior change. Under the circumstances it is pure
cowardice. What is the world waiting for? More Lebanese blood to be spilled?
There will be no peace in this dammed Middle East until the Syrian Falsadoom
regime is crushed. The liberation of Syria will push Iran one thousand
kilometers away from the Middle East conflict, back to its own borders, thus
allowing the region’s people to make peace once for all.

It is imperative for Middle East peace, to overthrow the current Assad
regime. The world should not fear anarchy a-la-Iraq. Rather anarchy will
disappear with the fall of the Syrian dictatorship who is its source, it
instigator, and its conduit. The Syrian people may have difficulties figuring
out the future of their country, and may divide it along ethnic lines, but at
least they will be busy with each others and leave their neighbors in peace.
